From clinic to approved record

Note Dr listens to the consultation as it happens. While you take the history, examine, reason out the investigations and talk through consent for endoscopy, it writes the record in the background, so your attention stays on the patient and off the keyboard.

Built for scrutiny

Defensible by
default, every endoscopy

  • Investigation reasoning on record

    Why you requested the endoscopy and what you were ruling in or out, captured as you reason it aloud, not reconstructed when a query lands months later.

  • Consent for endoscopy, recorded

    What you proposed, the bleeding and perforation risks you set out and what the patient agreed to, recorded the moment you take consent for a procedure.

  • The clinic letter, written for you

    The diagnosis, the medication changes and the follow-up plan, captured as you speak, ready to reach the GP inside the contractual window.

As thorough as your endoscopy note

A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, the history, the investigation reasoning, the consent, the endoscopic findings and the follow-up, against the standards gastroenterologists are held to and the gaps audits keep exposing.

    Last clinic's findings,

    Ask what you found last time, the endoscopy you arranged, or what the patient consented to, answered in seconds from their own record.

    Walk into the review already knowing the story, without trawling the notes.

    Ask Note Dr, Ffion Pryce
    What did we find for Ffion, and what did she consent to?
    NNote Drfrom this patient's record
    At the clinic on 9 June, you assessed iron-deficiency anaemia with altered bowel habit, haemoglobin 96 and ferritin 8, and arranged bidirectional endoscopy with calprotectin and coeliac serology. You recorded the impression and follow-up plan, and she consented to a colonoscopy with biopsy, the bleeding and perforation risks explained.

    The standard,
    at endoscopy

    When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance gastroenterologists work to, from GMC Good Medical Practice and the AoMRC record headings to BSG and JAG endoscopy standards and the relevant disease guidelines, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

    Why gastroenterologists trust Note Dr with a record that stands up to scrutiny.

    ★★★★★

    My clinic letters write themselves

    Dr Aneurin G, consultant gastroenterologist

    The clinic letter used to be the job that piled up after a full list. Now the impression, the investigations and the plan are drafted to our headings as I speak, and the letter reaches the GP inside the week. I review and approve in under a minute.

    ★★★★★

    Endoscopy consent, never an afterthought

    Dr Marisha I, consultant gastroenterologist

    Consent for a colonoscopy was the bit I documented last. Now the bleeding and perforation risks I set out and what the patient agreed to is captured the moment we discuss it, which is exactly where my exposure sat.

    ★★★★★

    Findings recorded to the standard

    Dr Lukas B, gastroenterology consultant

    Caecal intubation, withdrawal, the polyp and the therapy all land in the report as I call them. The endoscopy record is complete to the standards our unit is assessed against, every list, without me typing it up afterwards.

    ★★★★★

    IBD and biologics, fully documented

    Dr Saffron P, consultant gastroenterologist

    Starting a biologic means a safety screen, counselling and consent. Note Dr captures the latent TB and hepatitis checks, the risks I explained and the decision, so the IBD record holds together when it matters most.

    ★★★★★

    Calmest MDT minutes we've had

    Dr Tomasz W, clinical lead for gastroenterology

    Every MDT decision now has the case summary, the rationale and the named action owner logged as we agree it. Our outcome letters go out the same day, and the record finally tells the whole story across clinic and endoscopy.

    Gastroenterologist FAQs

    Can Note Dr draft my GI clinic letter to the GP?

    Yes. As you take the history, examine, reason out the investigations and set the plan aloud, Note Dr drafts the clinic letter to AoMRC headings, with the impression, the medication changes and the follow-up. It is ready to reach the GP inside the contractual window, and you review and approve before it is sent.

    How does Note Dr record consent for endoscopy?

    As you explain the procedure, the benefits and alternatives and the material risks of bleeding and perforation, and the patient agrees, Note Dr captures the consent discussion in the note: what you proposed, the risks set out and that consent was given. It is recorded the moment you take consent, reflecting the conversation.

    Can it document endoscopic findings from a colonoscopy or gastroscopy?

    Yes. As you call out the extent reached, caecal intubation, the findings, any biopsy or polypectomy and the specimens sent, Note Dr writes the endoscopy report to the standards your unit is assessed against. The findings and follow-up are captured contemporaneously, and you review and approve before saving.

    Does Note Dr capture IBD and biologics records?

    Yes. As you review disease activity, choose a biologic and complete the safety screen, Note Dr records the calprotectin and CRP, the latent TB and hepatitis checks, the risks you explained and the decision. The IBD record is documented in full, and the clinical judgement and approval stay entirely with you.

    Does an AI scribe replace our endoscopy reporting system?

    No — Note Dr works alongside your unit's endoscopy reporting system, not inside it. It drafts the parts that otherwise wait until the end of the list: the consent discussion, the findings narrative you call out, and the letter back to the GP. You review and approve each draft, then paste or export the text wherever your service needs it.

    Is an AI scribe confidential enough for GI consultations?

    Note Dr transcribes the consultation on-device, and every note is reviewed and approved by the clinician before anything is filed. That matters in a GI clinic, where the history covers bowel habit, rectal bleeding, alcohol intake and family history of bowel cancer — details patients share carefully. The draft stays a draft until you approve it, and you remain the author of the record.

    Can it record the outcome of a gastroenterology MDT?

    Yes. As the team reviews the imaging and histology and reaches a decision, Note Dr captures the case summary, the agreed plan, the rationale and the named action owner. The MDT outcome is documented as it is decided, ready for the outcome letter, and you review and approve before it is shared.

    Records that keep up with the endoscopy list

    Complete, watertight records for every contact, clinic, endoscopy, IBD review and MDT, reviewed and approved by you. The clinic letter, the endoscopy consent and findings, the biologics and the MDT outcome, finally handled.
